Weekend Update

Well that was a fun and significant weekend. Gary Gray, (known in some parts as variously Wetmachine’s “quiet Beatle”, Wetmachine’s Cowboy Neal, Wetmachine’s Scotty (“I can no make Wetmachine go any faster, Captain, the di-lithium crystals are already overheated!”), etc, ) got married to the lovely and talented Marcia Levin. As I can attest with some confidence, having been best man.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer living the village of Fanaye Dieri in drought-hit Senegal 1974-76, I used to hitch hike to Podor every few weeks to pick up my mail. There I stayed overnight w another PCV, among whose books I first discovered Cavafy & Checkov. https://t.co/YHY0ZLZ9p7

What cowardly shit is this? Is that mask intended to intimidate? I would certainly seem so. Who is too chickenshit to be seen holding an American flag? Christ, I'm known many third graders with more guts than that. What a fucking ugly photo. Not sure how it ended up in my feed.

Pelosi is not perfect. But she is strong & smart & fearless; & (UNLIKE SCHUMER) she will not be mindfucked by Republicans. She is a master of congressional chess & she is successful. I do wish she would ditch @WhipHoyer, who I can't stand. But please count me 100% Team Pelosi.
